Trump’s Positive Coronavirus Test Upends Campaign

New York Times: “Mr. Trump had already been trailing in the polls to Joseph R. Biden Jr., in part because of his mishandling of a virus that has unsettled the day-to-day lives of voters for over six months. He compounded his difficulties by disregarding and at times belittling the basic precautions, such as wearing a mask, that his health advisers were urging Americans to take to protect themselves.”

“Now, though, his personal indifference toward the virus could threaten his own health, the stability of the country and his already dimming hopes for re-election.”

Washington Post: “The virus could further challenge Trump’s reelection bid, because advisers were hoping to close the gap in upcoming weeks with an aggressive travel schedule and a message that the coronavirus had largely passed.”

Bloomberg: Trump’s diagnosis reshapes election a month from vote.
